Pork and mustard make a winning flavor combination and when the two are combined in a slow-cooker recipe, cooking becomes as easy as it is tasty.

Our find today is for Mary Schmoldt of New Braunfels, who writes, “In the ’70s, I used to make a pork chop recipe in my crock pot that was nice enough for company. In the intervening years, my children left home, I was widowed and quit using my crock pot.

“I recently got a new one, and remembered this recipe (sort of).

“You coated the pork chops with mustard, coated with flour, and browned on top of stove. I believe you added at least one can of chicken rice soup to the pork chops in the crock pot. I cannot remember other ingredients.

“When cooked all day, it made a wonderful sauce for the chops. I thought maybe it came from the original crock pot recipe book, but the recipe Rival sent me was nothing like this. Thanks for any help you can give me.”

When I went online, I found many variations of this recipe. We’re printing one from about.com that got raves from those who tried it. One called the pork chops “fantastic,” while another said they were great for families with picky eaters.

This recipe brought to mind another favorite pork recipe that I got on a trip to France. Grilled Pork couldn’t be easier or more delicious.
